[CQ-Contest] 1 Point for Intra-Country QSOs

[Prasad VU2PTT]

Not saying there should be a drastic change but for us out here there are only 2 ham population centers to target - these are about the same distance of ~6,700 Kms.

VU-Bangalore to EU = 3 points

VU-Bangalore to JA = 1 point 

Practically everything in a 5000 km radius = 1 point

Nearly everything in a 3,000 km radius = ZERO points

Like in 2012, we need some superlative conditions on 10m if we have to touch the 4-5 million points mark in CQWW.

We have fun though and keep hoping for better conditions each year.

DX IS!

Instead we have people in Florida working Cuba ("DX") while folks in San Diego are working New Jersey for a zero point QSO (not "DX") to get a multiplier. This has never made any sense to me.
